avg antivirus wont turn on

I have message telling me that my avg internet security 2015 is turned off.  I go to message and open action centre, click to turn on avg antivirus but it wont turn it on.  I have repurchased avg tune up a couple of days ago.  I also have a white screen.  This has all happened in last couple of days ?? also tells me my windows desktop is off? windows defender is on.

Karen, What is your Windows OS?. From Win 8 onwards Windows Defender is classified as an AV prog so it can conflict with AVG.

I have windows 7 , I loaded newer version and it is now showing antivirus is on.It has shut my windows firewall off though?  Could you give me an idea why my screen would be white? I can see icons but rest of screen is white.
